Koka

Celebrated alongside neighboring Iga as a legendary homeland of the ninja, Koka invites travelers into the shadowy world of real shinobi history. Visitors can discover trick-filled ninja houses, weapon exhibits, and local legends tucked amidst tranquil mountain scenery. Less commercialized than other historic hotspots, this quiet corner of Shiga makes for an evocative off-the-beaten-path excursion.
